Chenango Forks STEAM Academy

What is the STEAM Academy?

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Chenango Forks High School students have the opportunity to obtain both classroom and internship opportunities. STEAM is an approved state education program. In our area we found a gap that we aim to support the growth of local businesses and industries, as well as preparing Chenango Forks students for high-skilled jobs in technology, manufacturing, healthcare, animal care, business, finance, architecture, engineering, education, marketing and media just to name a few

Chenango Forks High School, in cooperation with local businesses and industries, provide a trained entry-level work force capable of supporting the productivity of specific businesses and industries in Central New York while at the same time offer an additional graduation credential of the CTE designation. It is our hope that we will encourage these students to stay in Central New York.
